More painted brake calipers
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/76964/brakes1.jpg"></center><p>Hi all,
Just thought I would post my pics of what I did today. I used VHT matt black paint, because really I am not a fan of the red painted calipers.
I also used some VHT vinyl stickers of the audi symbol on the caliper. Looks ok now, but how long will it last
The link is to a bigger shot of the finished wheel.
I welcome any thought you may have.<ul><li><a href="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/76964/brakes2.jpg">http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/76964/brakes2.jpg</a</li></ul>

Nice clean look. Should last quite a while. My glossy red ones show no sign of fading.
It helps when you're cleaning your wheels to reach through and scrub the calipers, if possible. I use Armor All wheel cleaner. Works great on the wheels and calipers.
